Its about time as this fine company needs to be rescued from its executives and other incompetents

Corporate greed at its finest!

If you’re a customer then refuse to fly on any Boeing plane until the company has had a major overhaul where engineers are back in charge over business and marketing executives!

THEY TOOK SHORTCUTS AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! CANCEL ALL THEIR GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS IMMEDIATELY!

Have spent $300 more than I needed to on a recent booking and had to accept an inconvenient flight time so that I would not be on a Boeing aircraft. Close relative worked at Boeing and advised me.

That was reported on Redacted weeks ago. You haven’t mentioned the death of the Boeing whistleblower either

Afrer they killed the whistleblower.

No worries. It'll be fine. Just like the carbon fibre submersible.

Unregulated capitalism is dangerous!
-
They do not want you flying

Boeing is taking their cues from China and making tofu planes.

I guess Boeing's safety record is really up in the air these days! ✈️

Dreamliner problems are well known for many years. The stringers in the airframe were very poorly fitted and staff were very unmotivated and unlistened to.

Bullpucky!! Compare incident reports/ cycle of 737MAX and not the 737. Better still, against airbus. The data is clear- exponentially higher.
